.- Land Development: Got an eye for raw land?

Germantown has plenty of opportunities, especially if you keep an eye on areas with improving infrastructure or schools.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the real estate market, you might be feeling a little unsure about whether now is the right time to invest.

You should sit down with the tenant and talk this out, EYE BALL TO EYE BALL.  

The answer to that question will probably be eye-opening for you!

I don't know about other areas in TX, but I keep a close eye on Austin-SAN corridor, and I'm familiar with the market in Kyle, New Braunfels and NE San Antonio.

Along with a kiddy-pool sized litterbox in one corner of a room, cat urine and feces in the OTHER corner of the room on the carpet (newly installed by the seller when I bought), and a smell that made my eyes water walking in the front door.The lease has a clause for Tenant-Caused Damages resulting from tenant negligence.

If your manager is just 'keeping an eye' on things, collecting/reminding on a few rents here and there and some light cleanup while being compensated in free or reduced space rent then classifying them as 1099 subcontractor is great. 

Would she need to be an owner occupant in the eyes of the lender.

Glad you made your way here.. are you eyeing long-term rentals or short-term flips?
